About this Event
Welcome to the DVC Annual Charity Ball Night!
This year, our Couples' Ball Night proudly supports our Connected Generations campaign, built around one important message:
“No older person in our community should feel forgotten or alone.”
Through this special evening, we aim to raise awareness and vital funds to support initiatives that help tackle loneliness and social isolation among older people, while creating stronger connections across generations within our community.
Guests can look forward to an elegant Strictly Black Tie evening featuring entertainment, live music, dinner, fundraising activities, networking, and opportunities to support our charitable mission.
